Metal Gear Fandom - Tumblr Posts
It all began on New Year's Eve. I was chatting with a friend at work, and I mentioned how my love for Metal Gear had been rekindled, bringing back nostalgia and fond memories of the game. Back in 2008, I was deeply involved in the fandom, and from the very beginning, I loved Hal. His character felt so close to me.
During that time, I even wrote a fanfic that I unfortunately lost with PC changes, but I still remember the plot. I used to keep an eye on all the content the voice actors shared, but living in Chile, meeting them seemed like an impossible dream.
However, on January 1st of this year, I decided to gift myself a Cameo from Chris as a Christmas present. I cannot put into words the positive impact this decision had on my life. Hal has always brought positive things into my life: thanks to a friend of my boyfriend, I got to know the Metal Gear saga, and we developed a strong and healthy friendship that has lasted for years.
This year, I connected with Chris and got to know his kind personality.
What the Cameo costs in money is nothing compared to what you receive from him: kindness, genuine concern, he truly puts effort into leaving you with a memory you'll never forget.
This year, I also met David Hayter and was overwhelmed by his kindness and warmth. I managed to get his autograph, which means so much to me. I also met some very significant people within the fandom.
Today, I received Christopher's autograph. Dreams can come true.
I still dream that maybe one day we can meet in person, even if it's just for 5 minutes at a convention. The fact that both of us have the intention is already enough.
Support artists and various forms of artistic expression (because there are many mediums, not just drawing/singing/acting). We are all human, deserving of recognition and love. It's incredible how much happiness this can bring to our hearts, both to the person giving and the person receiving.
Do it.
Without fear.
And chances are, things will turn in your favor. Positivity attracts positivity.
More love for the Chef and Developer. I just love to see her in the Shinkawa style that @Venomwalter_art does, because I feel like she could be a real character in the franchise
10 characters, 10 fandoms.
Thank you so much @ashamefulplace for the tag!! ❤️ I will do this because I think you could know me better. A male list because reasons.
Here we go!
1.- Hal Emmerich:
My supreme (and now only) Husbando. I really, really love Hal in all his lifetime, but I have to say that I deeply love him in his later days, when he is calmer and wiser...
2.- Kyosuke Kagami:
My favorite fighting game is rivals school. The character who made possible to meet my boyfriend (Almost husband at this point?) and my favorite one from Capcom.
3.- Maximillian Genius.
We're looking a pattern here, didn't? But yeah, I also love Hikaru Ichijo, but Max presence in Macross is longer, and just like Hal, I love him more in his older days.
4.- Alastair "Stear" Cornwell
Another man with glasses? Yup. And I think he was the first one I saw. He is so cute and funny. A perfect little nerd, but please, can I skip his lore so as not to remind you of the pain?
5.- Cho Hakkai:
Yup. Another man with glasses, with a tragic past, with a protective nature… and a green/ivory color setting like Hal...
6.- Kousuke Tsukimori (Derek Stiles)
Man with vision problems, and he is a doctor... so protective behavior again...
7.- Goro Majima:
Man with vision problems and paternal/protective behavior...
8.- Jean Pierre Polnareff...
But I have some exceptions....
9.- Ruka Tsuchiya:
Protective behavior. The one who opened Juri's eyes. (and god how I love Juri and Anthy)
10.- Raidou Kuzunoha.
Yes... My favorite Devil Summoner... a silent protagonist that I deeply love...
This deserves more love!

My cosmic beings ✨💖
I did this for twt
But I think is useful here too. Please remember that I'm an extroverted person, so I would love to talk about anything from here! ♥
I Know is a little bit late for the SundaySnippet, but I really want to talk about the things I'm doing. I was tagged by @fangbangerghoul and I really want to say that I love to see your work and when you tag me! As always, if you want to tag me in something, please feel free to do it!♥
In regards of writing matters; I'm making a full investigation about word politics and tensions in 2017, for the next TEC chapter. I discarded my old draft (from February 2023) but keeping some ideas I need for the plot, so making this chapter will take me more time than I thought. For Sapphire Hearted, I need to end the Idea, but I have a draft already ♥. Can spoiler that a friend's oc will be mentioned, but I have to send the draft first, to know if this person agrees. if isn't, I will change the character's name.
And for The Bad Ending, I want to share a new Snippet:
" It was when I lifted my gaze and could dazzle at Hal's reddened face, battling his demons. And now that I have seen that scene in my mind over and over again, I understand more things that I did not perceive at that moment.
- Arisen…
His weak, trembling, and pathetic voice.
How wrong I was…
- You were too slow, Hal.
- Damn it.
I saw him clench his hands; a smirk on my face was my response.
- You have no salvation. When will the day come when you tell her the truth?
His sepulchral silence outside, his mental struggle, noisy like a waterfall.
- I can't believe it. She had literally offered herself to me…
I opened my eyes, incredulous.
And Meryl's one too.
After so long, he openly accepted it.
- It was about time, Hal. How long will you wait? - I incited.
- And what the hell do you expect me to do, Snake? -he growled- I'm a pawn! Do you intend to be the one to explain to me what the hell I'm feeling? Because if so, here I am!
I stood up, lunging in anger against him, letting him see how big and imposing I was against his delicate nature.
- You have no salvation, Hal. I suggest you take the opportunity when you can. Because the next time she asks, I'll say yes, my friend…
It was necessary. It was imperative to press and distress him to act, but it does not free me from the guilt of not doing it sooner. Things would have been so different…
- Don't you dare… Snake… She doesn't belong to you.
A crude and hard laugh, belittling his character, seeking to distress him.
- Then do something, damn it! Tie up those pants you wear and do something!
- You have never understood anything with your muscle head! How her presence is so pleasant and intoxicating to my being! How my heart and mind wander in the uncertainty of desire and duty!
- Prove it. Leave me speechless and show me how wrong I am, Hal. Do you think it's mere coincidence that she has three sentient and willing pawns? Have you never questioned it? Or is that as far as the intelligence you claim to have goes?
Now I see your face, Arisen. Have you understood the reason for my monologue? In that split second, I had the answer, without giving the weight it deserved.
Neither Hal, nor Meryl, nor myself. We were not normal. Willpower, empathy, and audacity were a common denominator.
He gritted his teeth, showing the fire in his eyes.
- How you enjoy this, don't you? Leaving me in shame…
- Come on, Hal. You are so damn shy. The tent is on the other side… Or do you want me to play the role of the one who regrets it and take the place that you say it belongs to you?
- Over my dead body… Snake. Just watch me.
At that moment, the embers burned as much as now, Arisen. His legs were rigid trunks that raised a trail of dust in their wake. Meryl and I exchanged looks, sharing a conspiratorial smile. Her red hair shone with the yellow light from the campfire.
- Do you really think he'll make it?
- I don't know, Meryl. But one thing is certain: the night won't be boring…
And it was obviously the truth: an open field, a delicate fabric tent. Even the slightest sound would be heard by us.
- Do you want to bet? - she asked.
- Only if you want to lose, Meryl.
We bet 10,000 crystalsrift. The interest in knowing how this would resolve demanded that we keep our lips sealed…
Hal's long fingers moved the improvised fabric door: she was on the ground, with her back to the entrance.
I have good memories of our camping trips.
She liked to sleep with all of us together, just as you can see puppies huddled together in search of warmth.
It had something that was endearing and charming. The one who was always most attached to her was Hal, of course.
With the night movement, more than once, Meryl or I ended up snuggled next to her. And it was not a matter of importance, it was so natural for all of us that no one questioned anything.
So I presume that he must have lain down behind her, snuggling close."
I Have everything ready for tomorrow!
The setup for tomorrow! So happy to attend digitally for the second time to @mgscon!! Regretting so much about not traveling overseas to meet @ christophran and @ DavidBHayter, but my soul is there! Good luck to everyone and have a wonderful day! ❤️
Hal would be so proud of my snack selection
The two VA panels! I love all the nice convos and it's such a good experience.
Sharing the humble collection, as I did on twt. Things that didn't appear here are the David Hayter and Christopher Randolph autographs.
Non-oficial but important, all Walter's art and BJD Hal ❤️
Always have curiosity about Nastasha's book in Mgs universe. Because Raiden said that he read the book with the actual "Names" of "Snake" and "Otacon". And if you actually read it (in game, MGS2) It's just like that. With their names.
Also, When Karen Hojo talks about Big Shell, she also mentioned "The terrorist, Solid Snake" so... Can we say that "normal people" know about Snake, even if "In the Darkness of Shadow Moses" was settled to people like "Fiction" ?… Love to think about conspiracy theories from "normal people" in the MGS universe ♥
So Lina could actually known about him... by name.
